A transformation is underway in robotics deployments across North America. One where smarter, adaptable software meets the needs of changing production lines and stricter requirements. This isn’t about simple automation; rather, the emergence of low-code and no-code solutions powered by AI and designed to operate without extensive programming knowledge.
These solutions fundamentally change how manufacturers implement robotics automation. In removing the traditional barriers to adoption, namely skills and experience, low-code and no-code platforms address the challenges of labor shortages and the need for greater production flexibility. Regardless of employee skillset or experience, they make advanced robotics capabilities accessible to everyone.
AI agents, autonomous software systems that can observe their environment, decide how to respond, and take action, can transform your factory operations in many different ways.
In this live episode of Automated, Brian Heater talks with Mikell Taylor, former Amazon Robotics leader and current head of General Motors’ Autonomous Robotics Center. Recorded in front of an audience at A3’s Business Forum, the conversation dives into safety, collaboration, automation at scale, and why the best robots don’t necessarily look like us.
With the dynamic growth and ubiquity of electronic systems globally, software-defined, AI-powered, and silicon-enabled technologies are critical for today’s semiconductor industry, which is projected to reach $2 trillion by 2035 according to industry analysts.
In the last couple of years, most “AI in the supply chain” solutions have been pretty similar: a “chatbot-like” assistant stacked on top of SOPs, dashboards, and ticket queues. The solutions are certainly useful, especially for companies where knowledge is stored as a distributed system of documents, emails, and tribal knowledge.
In November 2025, the World Economic Forum published a report titled “Shaping the Deep-Tech Revolution in Agriculture”. It declared that agriculture stands at a defining moment in history. On the one side, climate change, resource degradation, and geopolitical instability are raging.
